The evening grosbeaks are still here, and so is winter for that matter. As i write this on Apr 12th, we have sleet, snow and school bus cancellations! Sheeesh! This time last year, I posted this pic of flowers in the garden: http://365project.org/sunnygreenwood/365/2012-04-10
They are all so beautiful. Such a lovely capture. Sounds like you are still battling bad weather. It is warmer here but we did have hail the other day.
Love your deck visitor photos. Sorry for the bad weather. We are behind here too-- spring is arriving in fits and starts. We had the sandals out and now we are back to boots.
